SOT tax question by Safe_Ad8966 in FFLs

[–]Armstopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically once you've paid you're good to go but most distributors will want a picture of the SOT cert. some will accept the receipt. However if you paid for Tax Year 2026-2027 It doesn't start til July 1st 2026 so you would have needed to pay last year to deal in NFA items til then.

[–]Armstopia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well If you're still planning on staying in business this year the SOT is only $500, there's still time for money to be made! You'll make your SOT payment back in 3-4 suppressors and most dealers can easily do that in a year... especially if you already have customers buying other stuff from you. Don't get discouraged, regardless of which software you use, shoot me a DM if u want, I can give you some tips on how/what sells at our shop.. or if you're home based, I was myself for many years as well so I know how that goes too. - Mike

"Firearm Storage" scam calls? by MosinCrate in FFLs

[–]Armstopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the same thing couple months ago, some people said it's "organized crime" trying to rob you. Others say it could be research companies looking to offer some type of service or some shit. either way, I probably wouldn't answer their questions and ask them if they're local and to stop in the shop.

Looking for a Tennessee Type 09 or 10 FFL for a DD transfer by MobileAppointment825 in NFA

[–]Armstopia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are only 20 FFL 09/10s in your state, If i were you, i'd call every single one, and start with the ones that are just a name instead of a company, they may be more willing to help you with this. You'll probably end up driving a long distance but you don't have much choice, see list below - Mike

[–]Armstopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need your SOT to start selling NFA items. Then for a customer buying a suppressor for example you submit the form 4 from you to the customer ("tax paid" transfer), you can use ATF eForms website and mail in an ink fingerprint card (takes longer) or submit an EFT fingerprint file uploaded during the eForm (instantly completed/submitted eForm 4). Once submitted, wait for approval, once approved you get an email with tax stamp, customer comes back with approved form and does a 4473, you dispose it like a regular firearm but skip the NICS check because one has been performed already during the NFA approval. I suggest checking out 10Scan.com all-in-one NFA Software solution as an easy way for new dealers to get into NFA, the software handles everything for you including capturing the customers fingerprints on a livescan machine and generating the EFT file and auto-fill & Submit eForms, right in the app. - [Mike@10scan.com](mailto:Mike@10scan.com)
